Still trying to fix yourself?
What if you’re not broken—just overdue for snacks and a sacred flop?
The Institute for Absurd Excellence™: Field Manual is the anti-self-help book for anyone exhausted by productivity culture, perfectionism, and the relentless pressure to optimize their human experience.
Instead of promising to make you better, it offers something even more radical: the unshakeable permission to be exactly who you are—snacks, chaos, flops, and all.
What if excellence isn't about being perfect—it's about being present?
This isn't another system to master or program to complete. It's a field manual for the ongoing experiment of being magnificently, imperfectly human in a world that mistakes exhaustion for virtue and busyness for importance.
You'll discover how to:
- Ground yourself using snack-based nervous system regulation (seriously—it works)
- Transform spectacular failures into curriculum for resilience
- Practice rest as a revolutionary act against burnout culture
- Express difficult emotions safely through pillows instead of people
- Create personal sacred space from whatever's meaningful to you
- Build emergency kits for emotional disasters before they happen
- Hope without requiring guarantees
- Embrace imperfection as a feature, not a bug
Meet your guides:
- Carl the Goat (Philosophical Advisor with strong opinions about hay and existential matters),
- Monday (recovering perfectionist learning to be human),
- Friday (gentle revolutionary teaching the art of strategic kindness).
Perfect for readers who:
- Feel like they're failing at being human
- Are tired of self-improvement that makes them feel worse about themselves
- Want practical tools wrapped in wisdom and humor
- Need permission to rest, flop, and try again
- Believe life is too important to be taken entirely seriously
- Are ready to practice presence over perfection
What readers are saying:
"Finally, a book that treats humans like mammals instead of machines."
"Carl the Goat gives better life advice than most therapists."
"I laughed, I cried, I built a tiny altar from pocket debris. Life-changing."
The Institute for Absurd Excellence™ exists in the space between philosophy and therapy, between profound wisdom and complete nonsense, between taking life seriously and taking yourself lightly.
You're not broken. You're not behind. You're exactly the right person to be yourself.
Welcome to your education in revolutionary imperfection.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
